show string variable to pure HTML

[ggeorgiou01]

Hi all,

I have a form with a description field on it. This description field is a "ASP textbox", and it saves away into the database with a data type of "TEXT".

My problem is:

for example if i was to enter the following
___________________________________
hello

I want this to be on a new line.
___________________________________

when i come to actually displaying my results from the database into a repeater using the following code:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Description") %>

it displays the results as this:
___________________________________
hello I want this to be on a new line.
___________________________________

How do i keep the carriage returns ? is this possible ?

Yes, it is. Use the Replace function and replace the carriage returns with <br/> tags.
